Takata recall / several times my 4WD will get a service 4WD light and I will lose 4WD. This time I was sitting still in neutral and turned my selector switch from 2wd to 4WD and received the serv 4WD light. Dodge dealership as well as locally owned shops are at a loss of what's wrong. After many searches online I find I am not the only person with this problem and no answer. Also, the security light is flashing, windshield wipers going crazy, horn blaring, and washer fluid squirting our randomly for a long period of time. Help!!! Dodge says 4WD should be fine but is not... I only have 2wd and the service light is still on.

While driving to detroit metro airport tire went flat. Have seen on your website complaints regarding corrosion at retaining nut that holds valve stem in place on this vehicle and model year. Key fob was working intermittently, lock and unlock. Now key fob only unlocks driver side door. Again this complaint is listed on your website for this vehicle and model year.
